God invites you to treat your thirsty soul as you would treat your physical thirst. He says, "Whoever drinks the water I give will never be thirsty. The water I give will become a spring of water gushing up inside that person, giving eternal life" (John 4:14). Just visit the well and drink deeply: Receive Christ's work on the cross, the energy of his Spirit, his lordship over your life, and his unending, unfailing love. Weary travelers. You've seen them staggering through terminals and hotel lobbies with everything they own crammed into their suitcases, duffel bags, and backpacks. At times, we are people like that-if not with our physical luggage then at least with our spiritual baggage of guilt, discontentment, anxiety, fear, perfectionism, and more. The Twenty-third Psalm reminds us that God wants us to release these loads we were never intended to carry. The Christ of the galaxies is the Christ of your Mondays. The Starmaker manages your travel schedule. The universe's Commander-in-Chief knows your name. He has walked your streets. There is no person he won't touch. No place he won't go to find you. Even though he is in heaven, he never left the neighborhood. Near enough to touch. Strong enough to trust. A next door Savior. Book jacket.
A friend gave me this for 24th birthday, which was shortly after I became a Christian. As someone starting from scratch, searching for answers and trying to find my way, I cannot thank Max Lucado enough for fulfilling so many of these needs. His information is based on scripture and he gives us stories we can relate to and then apply to our own relationship with Christ. If you're on the fence, go for it. I came here looking for it because I want to buy copies for my friends and family!
Traveling Light by Max Lucado

Max is so special. He explains, with exceptional clarity, about ones walk with the Lord. His "Traveling Light" is about the burdens we're not meant to carry. The Twenty-Third Psalm is the basis for this book and I am on my second reading. I think it's simply terrific! Thank you, Max!
